Wiki Loves Africa launched in 2014 with the theme Cuisine. You can see the entire competition and the entries here.
During October and November 2014 the photographic competition resulted in over 6000 image uploads to Commons around the theme Cuisine. The photo contest entries were reviewed by a panel of experts, which collectively, identified a first selection of about 300 best images from the contest. From this short list, the jury identified three winners. Congratulations to them !
Jury winners:
Nutmeg by Terrence Coombes from Tanzania
Egyptian grains by Dina Said Eid, from Egypt
Girls cleaning coffee by Natnael Tadele, from Ethiopia

Community members from Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and social media related to Wikimedia projects chose from the top 20 images favoured by the official jury (these 20 images of course did not include the top 3 winners that had already been selected by the official jury).
